MY latest gas bill...
I've just had my online bill and boy is it huge: 4/12/08 - 18/03/09 526 units used £678.11 inc VAT!!! The bill for (nearly) the same period last year was £386 for 463 units. I guess with the winter being worse I'd expect to use more. But that price is terrible. I'm on the BG fixed until 2011. Sound about right compared to…

Business electricity bill seems very high
My wife owns and runs a beauty salon on her own - although there are several rooms there is only one treatment room that is used and there is obviously lighting and heating in that room and the reception area (night storage) used throughout the day. There is also a single sunbed room which may be used several times a day.…

Anyone know how much is Scottish Power's Fixed Price Energy online - 2011 - annual standing charge is for both gas and electricity?

Scottish Power aggressivness
Hiya, ok the thread title is probably a bit strong but.. we decided to leave Scottish Power after around 12 months of having their supply for electricity. This threw up a huge final bill for £511 despite the fact we were paying double in direct debits than for the previous supllier. We were horrified, but it seems that we…

Hidden tariffs ?
Apologies in advance if this is a stupid noob question. I used all the major switching sites to see which electricity tariff to switch to and they all gave the same answer except the SwitchwithWhich one (partner is a member so has a login) which gave another that was quite a bit cheaper. How come the other switching sites…

News - Will the new LNG port at Milford Haven mean cheaper gas for us..?
From BBC News: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/7952415.stm What chance of this meaning cheaper gas prices for us? A new (and presumably more cost effective) way of getting 25% of our gas needs into the country should surely lead to lower prices. I can't see it personally...

Can anyone help
We live in a 2 bed flat in Surrey, which is all electric. Until 14 months ago we had been paying £61 a month dd for our electricity which pretty much covered it for the two years until January 2008. In January 2008 we had a new heating system put in. We had our overnight storage heaters and the Economy 7 meter removed. In…

Southern Electric Salesman
I read on the internet that watchdog looked in the above and suggested miselling back in 2004. Tactics included saying that they could cut out the middleman ie Germany in my case and that they owned the supply equipment and that Transco no longer existed. He looked at the meters which he said would be changed and showed…
